So my roommate bought Castle Crashers the other day. We've been playing quite a bit, and I'm level 15, he's 21. Really fun game so far, and some levels can be pretty challenging. Great art direction, music, and just a very fun beat-em-up.
Anyway, today a friend of my roommate wanted to play with him. So we thought we'd be able to play local + online with his friend simultaneously. My roommate who owns the xbox has an xbox live account, I do not. As we quickly found out, even though my character is on his xbox, i need my own xbox live gold account simply in order to be able to use the character i already have online when playing with him. Why doesn't microsoft set it up so it'll let me piggyback on my roommate's gold account?
Without a gold account, I start at level 1 and can't save my progress. This is a very stupid and exploitative way to handle local/online mixed play. It's amazing how microsoft gets a reputation for having the definitive online service while pulling crap like this. Just a little rant.. that's all.
